Arsenal are said to be considering a move for Aston Villa star Ron Vlaar as they look to shore up their defence in January.
For some bizarre reason Arsene Wenger didn’t bring in an experienced centre back along with Callum Chambers to replace the departing Thomas Vermaelen and now he’s paying the price.
In truth Arsenal have had really bad luck with injuries. But that seems to happen every season.
The Daily Mail reckons that Vlaar could be the answer.
Arsenal are considering a fresh move for Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar as they seek a solution to their defensive woes.
The Gunners were interested in the Dutchman during the closing days of the summer transfer window following the departure of Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona.
It seems that the Dutchman is interesting several parties not least because his contract expires at the end of this season. So Villa may look to cash in in January in order to get some kind of fee.
He’s a really good player – a safe pair of hands who would most definitely improve the squad and perhaps take the place of the ever more sluggish Per Mertesacker when everyone is fit.
Let’s take a look at the impressive World Cup performer in action. Arsenal fans: is Vlaar good enough for the first team?
